                For example, I promise you that the full sleeves and backpieces that you see finished on these shows are not drawn up in 15 minutes time and tattooed in a single session.  I’m sure…

My first memory of tattoos was seeing the greenish blobs of ink on my Grandpa’s forearms when I was little. Tattooing has always intrigued me since then. When I was 10 I started trying to reproduce the art I saw in my older brother’s tattoo magazines. By the time I was 17, I was running the desk at Supreme Tattoos where I later earned an apprenticeship. I started tattooing full time in 2007, pushing myself to learn as much…

I would like take this time to look back on our three year romance. You were there for me on long nights. When I woke up, you were also there for me to look forward to in, what I would consider to be, early mornings. Even though our love affair really began at the old shop, you’re still the most attractive establishment I have ever worked at. Dave has been the best boss I have ever had…

To begin with, I moved to Vancouver after being in the US for a while, and applied to Adrenaline within my first week of being back in our land of the free. I was extremely pleased (as was my dwindling bank account) when I got the call back that I was to become part of the Adrenaline family. My first few weeks…

Dale- “ so do I, especially with bbq sauce.”

 

In passing conversation

Erin- “ Have you ever dated a girl?”

Dale- “ I’m saving up for…
